I don't have your answer, sorry, but why not just run the TPMS sensors and avoid this issue entirely?

Will TPMS prevent track mode?

I’m not running TPMS sensors on my slicks. I’m not able to change to the different modes. My car is stuck at normal mode. I’m wondering if the TPMS error code is preventing switching to a different mode?If anybody has experienced this I would appreciate feedback.Sent from my iPhone...

2017, never had a problem. The light does come on at some inopportune times but has no effect apart from being annoying. Have multiple sets of track wheels with no sensors.

Thanks. I bought some dedicated track wheels and tires that are already mounted, without TPMS. I’m wondering if I have to go through the trouble of adding TPMS to them.

Personally, I'd never run on track without TPMS. The only numbers I keep on the dash display are tire pressures - there's a computer for everything else. There are two reasons for that. First, tire pressures give you information about grip - too high or too low, grip may not be as expected. Second, if somebody loses a sheet metal screw on track and your tire picks it up, TPMS can save you from a serious mess. I know how this works because it happened to me, and the dropping tire pressure (when it should have been rising) signaled a problem so I slowed down and headed to the pits.

2016. Will the car be limited without TPMS sensors installed on a set of track wheels?

I’ve heard that drive modes may be restricted but can’t find a definitive answer. I did a search here but found conflicting information.

Hoping to hear from someone with firsthand experience. Thanks.

For S197s you can code out the TPMS light with Forscan in the IPC module and deselect the TPMS active. That's what I did as I also have track wheels without TPMS installed at the moment. Google seems to say you can do the same in S550s, but obviously not something I have tried personally.

Thanks. Is that only for the “connection lost” warning light or does it turn off all TPMS functionality?

I’m curious if you still get the benefits of TPMS when running your street wheels.
